Speek Notifications is an Android application which reads notification information when you cover the proximity sensor. A synthesised voice (Using CereVoice Cloud) tells you how many new messages, unread emails and missed calls you have.
Before compiling and installing Speek you'll have to create a free account to use CereVoice Cloud. Then put your Account ID and Password in the CereCloudPlayer class.
Speek uses the proximity sensor to detect your hand and checks to make sure your phone is on a flat surface. This means Speek doesn't run while your phone is in your pocket.
